The Matrix Revealed: Nature of the Covert Op

by Jon Rappoport

I’ve written a number of different introductions to my mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed.

In this brief one, I want to sketch the basis of the covert op.

Every major covert op has the same concealed objective: “defeat the enemy and thereby gain more control.”

But control over what?

Beyond the usual answers, the root answer is: “control over the mind.”

Why? Because if perception and thought can be channeled, directed, reduced, and weakened, then it doesn’t matter what humans do to resist other types of control. They will always go down the wrong path. They will always operate within limited and bounded territory. They will always ignore their own authentic power.

I’m talking about power that exceeds the “normal” and “average” ability to influence the stream of cause and effect.

The “prison” of cause and effect is a concept that is floated as part of the basic covert op to convince people they are small, diminished, and at the mercy of larger forces.

But underneath it all, humans have the capacity to “jump the chain” and become, as it were, “first causes.”

And not in some minor way.

Unfortunately, the popular view of how this can be accomplished is often rooted in New Age notions: the instantaneous fix; the Disneyesque manifestation; the “surrender to the universe.”

These are psy-op versions of the real thing, floated as part of the overall covert op to engage the gullible among us.

“Jumping the chain” is actually a matter of reversing the op. In other words, instead of accepting the mural of reality that has been created for us, each person creates his own.

This, dare I say it (yes, I do), is a heroic enterprise. And by heroic, I mean: without surrender. Without compromise.

Beyond the covert op, every human has the capacity to act in ways that change the flow of time, the architecture of space, and the sources of energy.

The degree to which an individual believes this is impossible mirrors his acceptance of the basic covert op on planet Earth.

When people speak about “hope for all of us,” they rarely refer to the power of the individual, but that’s where it starts. With the individual. Unchained.


The Matrix Revealed


Here is a description of my collection, The Matrix Revealed:

Let me start with the nuts and bolts of this product. It is large in scope.

* 250 megabytes of information.

* Over 1100 pages of text.

* Ten and a half hours of audio.

The 2 bonuses alone are rather extraordinary:

* My complete 18-lesson course, LOGIC AND ANALYSIS, which includes the teacher’s manual and a CD to guide you. I was previously selling the course for $375. This is a new way to teach logic, the subject that has been missing from schools for decades.

* The complete text (331 pages) of AIDS INC., the book that exposed a conspiracy of scientific fraud deep within the medical research establishment. The book has become a sought-after item, since its publication in 1988. It contains material about viruses, medical tests for diagnoses, and the invention of disease, the understanding of which is, now and in the future, vital to our correct perception of phony epidemics arising in our midst. I assure you, the revelations in the book will surprise you; they cut much deeper and are more subtle than “virus made in a lab” scenarios.

The heart and soul of this product are the text interviews I conducted with Matrix-insiders, who have first-hand knowledge of how the major illusions of our world are put together:

* EILLIS MEDAVOY, master of PR, propaganda, and deception, who worked for key controllers in the medical and political arenas. 28 interviews, 290 pages.

* RICHARD BELL, financial analyst and trader, whose profound grasp of market manipulation and economic-rigging is formidable, to say the least. 16 interviews, 132 pages.

* JACK TRUE, the most creative hypnotherapist on the face of the planet. Jack’s beyond-Matrix understanding of the mind and how to liberate it is unparalleled. His insights are unique, staggering. 43 interviews, 320 pages.

* Then there are several more interviews with brilliant analysts of the Matrix, including recent conversations. 53 pages.

* The ten and a half hours of mp3 audio are my solo presentation, based on these interviews and my own research. Title: “The Multi-Dimensional Planetary Chessboard—The Matrix vs. the Un-Conditioning of the Individual.”

(All the documents and books are pdf files, and the audio presentations are mp3 files. You download the files upon purchase. An email will be sent you with a link to all the materials.)


Here is some background on the product and my own history:

In 2001, I essentially left a career as an investigative reporter and rolled the dice on the emerging internet. I started a site called NoMoreFakeNews.com.

I didn’t stop investigating and publishing, but my field of operation widened. My first big question was: WHO REALLY RUNS THE WORLD?

And my second was: WHOEVER THEY ARE, HOW DO THEY MANUFACTURE REALITY FOR THE POPULATION OF EARTH?

I was prepared to deal with these enormous questions, because I had contacts. These were people I had come to know well during my days as a reporter, writing for LA Weekly and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe—and also during a stint on radio at KPFK in Los Angeles.

These people, these contacts, were insiders.

They had deep knowledge in their fields:

PROPAGANDA; FINANCE; HYPNOTISM; MIND CONTROL; MEDICINE; INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS…

They were unwilling to be cited as on-the-record sources in my articles. They knew they would suffer consequences if they went public.

Once I started my website, I did extensive research to confirm the credentials of my insiders. I wanted to make sure they were who they said they were. I wanted to verify they had worked where they said they had worked. This was a laborious process.

When I was sure, I began to interview them.

I wasn’t certain where all this would go.

Gradually, I realized I was getting VERY high-level information on The Matrix. But this was the real Matrix.

As one of my sources described it:

“Imagine a factory that turns out illusions. And these illusions are woven together to make up what we think the world is.”

The actual Matrix involves a number of areas: government; money; energy; the military; intelligence agencies; medicine; mega-corporations; psychology and mind control; science…

It’s very instructive to talk to people who have been there on the inside. They are bright, they are informative, they convey the depth of situations they were involved with. They go beyond relaying dry facts, and in doing so, you learn how elite players play the game. You receive a rounded and three-dimensional picture of: the process of constructing The Matrix. How it’s built.

So…

This collection is for individuals.

Because:

Beyond The Matrix is true individual power.

Despite all the illusions, it has always been there.

My Matrix collections: backgrounder

My Matrix collections: a backgrounder

by Jon Rappoport

November 28, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

There are 3 collections. They all take on the nuts and bolts of consensus reality, which is to say, invented reality.

Not only on political, economic, and social levels, but on the level of the mind.

We live in a limited spectrum of perception. The actual arc is much greater than we experience.

Even more important, the vast majority of human beings live in a small corner of their creative potential.

And of course, that potential includes the capacity to invent new realities. On a vast scale.

When this subject is approached, the usual response is to make reference to some time-honored tradition and pretend it covers and explains everything.

This is not the case.

What history shows is a highly individual thread I call The Tradition of Imagination.

It is open. It does not teach content or substance or doctrine of any kind. It reminds us that imagination/creative force is the key to another level of life.

Not what imagination has already invented, but what it can invent now. In the hands of each unique individual.

That power.

I invite you to read about these 3 collections.

The Matrix Revealed: the individual with power

The Matrix Revealed: the individual with power

by Jon Rappoport

November 14, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

In some of my recent articles, I’ve been dissecting levels of psy-ops in which an attempt is made to merge the individual with the group.

These psy-ops are low-level aspects of the Matrix. Politically, they recognize the threat of the free individual to plans for a controlled planet.

One subject few researchers want to tackle head-on is this: HOW POWERFUL CAN THE FREE INDIVIDUAL BE? AND WHAT IS THIS POWER?

When we say “free individual,” are we simply talking about someone who can exercise those rights enumerated in The Bill of Rights, who can pursue life, liberty and happiness without undue interference? Is this the whole story?

The answer is: no. There are many more dimensions to the story.

My work, for the past ten years, could be roughly divided into two areas:

understanding the layers and levels of deception, ops, and self-restriction imposed inside the Matrix;

and the potential for the individual to express and act on his own power to exit from the Matrix.

That second area of research has unexpectedly great depth and breadth.

When you read all the 40 interviews I do with Jack True in my collection, The Matrix Revealed, you see how far and deep individual power can go. And you see what some of the keys to that power are.

In my last conversations with Jack before we lost contact, we agreed that many people who were exploring what could superficially be called “human potential” were compromising their efforts. They were reluctant to push too far, because they had audiences to satisfy, they had careers to protect, they had, in some cases, financial backers to appease, and they sometimes had overriding agendas that were self-defeating.

We were aware that, in the “human potential” field, contractors from the military and the intelligence community were muddying the waters with their programs and objectives. Empowering the individual to the highest degree possible, in their paranormal experiments, was offset by their corrupted desire to “produce” servants of a new global order.

Jack had been approached several times by these contractors, or their agents, and he always refused to work with them. He was profoundly indifferent to their offers and their queries. Jack was an independent force, period. He had zero interest in hitching his wagon to someone else’s star.

In a nutshell, when you say free you have to mean Free. You can’t mean free to enlist in a cause or an organization that ultimately has a hierarchy. That doesn’t work. It always fails. It fails because individual power is twisted into power over people. That’s a huge twist, and it is perverse.

Jack and I also spoke about words that are used to describe individual power, words that cause emotional reaction and confusion.

Two such words are “paranormal” and “magic.” Numerous misunderstandings collect around these terms.

In the first case, “paranormal” suggests that a person can remain average and normal in most respects, while developing, like a new appendage, strange ability. It suggests there are tricks one can learn, like openings in chess or ways to pick locks with tools. It suggests that there may be machines which will alter brain activity and suddenly catapult a person into a new realm.

These are all misleading.

In the second case, the word “magic” has hundreds of associations. In the past, it was a favorite way of indicating that someone was opposed to religion and was trying to subvert it. “Magic” suggests that a person may be operating under an external spell, or he is engaged in bizarre rituals. He may be a member of secret society. Alternatively, the word is used to designate a person who is indulging in aimless and useless fantasies about escaping from the real world; he is living in a fuzzy dream state, futilely hoping to be rendered into a charmed state of mind.

Again, all these references and associations are off the mark. They don’t really begin to describe what can happen when individual power exceeds a limited ceiling.

With “magic” and “paranormal,” most people assume that if the words mean anything important at all, they certainly hold out hope that something extraordinary can happen INSTANTLY.

Well, that is the habit of our present society. Everything has to happen right now, right away, in six seconds, in two days, in a month at the most. Additionally, there must be a precise protocol of steps that explain how it will happen so quickly. If there is no protocol, there is nothing.

A car in a factory is made step by step, as the frame moves from one station to another. This is the Way. It must be the same when we come to the subject of individual power.

People tend to overlook the fact that, although things are done TO the skeleton of a machine to complete its structure, power is expressed FROM an individual. They are opposite situations.

As we peel this whole onion of misunderstanding, also keep in mind that, in our technological society, people want to believe that biological or chemical alterations—especially genetic ones—can allow an individual to become more than he was. He can be enhanced through physical means. This is further misrepresentation.

None of this strikes the right chord. None of it is relevant.

Back in the 1950s, all those science-fiction movies based on nuclear- radiation-mutation used that plot device to launch “new humans.” This idea was actually held as a research possibility by some scientists. It gained a bit of traction, because government officials wanted to downplay the destructive effects of A-bomb testing and cancer treatments.

Now, we have a more sophisticated scenario: machine-human hybrids. The research on this is being done. It’s another dead end. It’s a cover for external control of humans. But some people want to believe this is where the future of individual power exists.

Because I’m interested in increasing individual power for adults, and I don’t have any exclusionary interest in child-magic, I was never taken by the Harry Potter books. But I was intrigued, for about five minutes, by the social furor those novels caused. Apparently, JK Rowling was really a CIA agent working for Beelzebub trying to subvert our youth. If so, then the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen and the author of the 11th-century Song of Roland were also secret agents of ulterior forces bent on destruction.

The Harry Potter books need no analysis from me. I’ll simply point out, for purposes of this discussion, that a school that teaches magic in classes, utilizing ancient manuscripts and potions, enrolling children who have shown peculiar talents from an early age, plays into the notion that “paranormal” is primarily an accident of birth, and the classroom work suggests a viable protocol. Also, of course, there must be enemies who are using the same powers children learn, but for evil purposes.

The books may be great fun. But they don’t clarify adult individual power.


For that, after years of exploration, I found one tradition on planet Earth that was quite different from any system before or since. I have written about it. It existed in the early days of the society of Tibet. This was prior to the takeover by the local priests and their theocratic maneuvers to control the emerging civilization and bury the core of what was unique under tons of literature and ceremony.

Exhuming the essentials of what actually happened in early Tibet, and separating it from the sheer nonsense of priestly interpretation, is a fascinating undertaking. It reveals the lengths to which people will go to attribute power to everything under the sun, except themselves.

Well, in a significant way, that is the history of Earth. A history that combines corrosive cynicism with a yearning for what one has ALREADY surrendered on an altar of mindless sacrifice.

This is a person saying, “I’d rather sink into permanent unconsciousness than admit to my true potential. I’d rather blame anyone and everyone for my mindless sacrifice of Self. I’d rather undertake a campaign to deny the existence of individual power, or declare it a threat to the natural order.”


What do you think those fabulously rich elite environmentalists, behind the curtain, are pulling the strings for? They hate individual power and they want to bind up the whole planet in a sea of regressive stone-age suffering as an act of revenge. They want to take their own AUTHENTIC power, which they long ago gave up, because they were weak and without independent courage, and they want to reconstitute it as a boot that grinds everything under its heel. Frankly, there are many self-invented victims scattered around the planet who would do exactly the same thing, if they were suddenly outfitted with enormous bank accounts and social position. For every real Rockefeller, there are a thousand would-be’s hoping and lurking in the weeds.

Lord Acton famously wrote, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” But which power? The capacity that is innate in a person? No. What corrupts is the urge to exercise dominance over others.

And therefore the question became: what does the individual do with freedom? What POWER does he express? How much power does he actually have?

This has everything to do with what we call the Matrix. Because power, individual power is what can get you out of all—all—aspects of the Matrix.

I assembled volume one, The Matrix Revealed, because if you know enough about the nuts and bolts, about how the structure of Matrix was put together, you know something about A MODE OF INVENTION, and Matrix begins to look quite different. In basic terms, it looks more like a painting than an armored tank.

True individual power has no limit.

It is not dominance. It is a kind of joy. It is imagination. It is, in the broadest sense, art. It is the human being as creator without limits. It is, as the saying goes, living in the world without being of the world. It is deeper and deeper realms of beauty. It is inventing new worlds. It is choosing any part of any former reality and incorporating it into something new and unprecedented. It is also inventing from Nothing. It moves in any and all directions. It is what people have deserted. They have cast it away. They have buried it. They have abandoned it. They have refused to understand it or recognize it when it is under their noses.

The Matrix Revealed: staged events

The Matrix Revealed: staged events

by Jon Rappoport

November 4, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

Back in the late 1980s, I was making notes for a book on Sigmund Freud.

After a few weeks, I realized I was journeying out past the boundaries of that book. I was sketching the basis for quite a different undertaking.

I tentatively called it The Staged Mind.

At that time, I met two people who changed my perspective: Jack True, a brilliant hypnotherapist, and Ellis Medavoy, a retired propaganda operative.

They began to talk to me about staged events, and the interlock between those events and the conditioning of human perception.

This was what I was looking for. Information about how human perception and power were being reduced.

If society, as a whole, was a series of staged events, then people’s perception was being guided to notice certain factors and ignore other factors.

“Blind spots.”

But it went much further than that.

Most people don’t understand that whole societies can be staged, and in the process influence, to a fantastic degree, how people perceive their own lives, their own choices, their own limits, and, most importantly, the raw material of their own experience.

If a stage play is being cast in a theater, and the hopeful actors show up to audition, and discover that the substance of the play is of minor interest, is badly written, and is absent of inspiration, the actors have little choice if they want to work.

They will have to reduce their expectations and their power. They will have to perceive at a diminished level.

They will have to engage, on several psychological levels, with “the material at hand.”

Many years later, I would call this “the Matrix effect.”

Climbing all the way out of it begins with a recognition of how it is built, how it functions, and how it meshes with the human being’s need to adapt and accept and shave down his own power.


The Matrix Revealed


That is why I committed myself to put together my first collection, The Matrix Revealed.

Here is a breakdown of its contents:

* 250 megabytes of information.

* Over 1100 pages of text.

* Ten and a half hours of audio.

The 2 bonuses alone are rather extraordinary:

* My complete 18-lesson course, LOGIC AND ANALYSIS, which includes the teacher’s manual and audio to guide you. I was previously selling the course for $375. This is a new way to teach logic, the subject that has been missing from schools for decades.

It contains material about viruses, medical testing, and the invention of disease that is, now and in the future, vital to our understanding of phony epidemics arising in our midst. I assure you, the revelations in the book will surprise you; they cut much deeper and are more subtle than “virus made in a lab” scenarios.

* JACK TRUE, the most creative hypnotherapist on the face of the planet. Jack’s anti-Matrix understanding of the mind and how to liberate it is unparalleled. His insights are unique, staggering. 43 interviews, 320 pages.

* Then there are several more interviews with brilliant analysts of the Matrix. 53 pages.

* The ten and a half hours of mp3 audio are my solo presentation, based on these interviews and my own research. Title: The Multi-Dimensional Planetary Chessboard—The Matrix Vs. the Un-Conditioning of the Individual.

All this is step one on a quite different road.

The Matrix Revealed: victimized or inspired

The Matrix Revealed: victimized or inspired?

by Jon Rappoport

October 25, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

When I was putting together my collection, The Matrix Revealed, I was acutely aware that people, when confronted by external power structures, often fall into a state of despair.

This is, in fact, an objective of mind control. It seeks to trap people with their own knowledge.

It seeks to make insight a self-defeating proposition.

But there is another way.

When a person sees the “artistic” blow-by-blow creation of these power structures, in progress—rather than the finished product—an entirely new consciousness arises.

“If they can create Reality for me, I can create my own.”

“If they are artists, I can be an artist, too—but in an entirely different direction.”

The Matrix ceases to be a monolith. It is revealed as an ongoing weave, and one can see the process at work.

Then, one’s own insight operates on behalf of liberation.

A person can actually see how he cooperates in the progression of accepting “the weave.”

And he sees other options.

Therefore, as I put together The Matrix Revealed, I made sure to show Matrix as a work in process, an ongoing enterprise, a work of art, as it were, that can be dismantled—as a person takes another road of his own.

This is vital. It transforms victimization into inspiration.

In my work, I was assisted by interviewees who profoundly understood all this.

This work is all about reinstating individual power, above and beyond what the Matrix implies and stands for. It is about insight, yes—but it is also about liberating one’s consciousness from the habit of accepting life on the terms by which it is given to us.

Thought and action can align themselves with Matrix, or they can strike out in a far more adventurous and galvanizing direction. A thrilling direction unique to each individual.

The Matrix Revealed: the beginning

The Matrix Revealed: the beginning

by Jon Rappoport

In 1981, a year before I started working as a journalist, I was making notes for a novel.

The title was: The Human Who Knew Everything.

The shape of the novel had morphed many times. I settled on one core idea: a human believes that nothing can surprise him.

He’s quite sure he knows everything worth knowing—and if he doesn’t, and he learns what it is, he won’t feel different, he won’t look at life in a different way.

He’s set.

In the course of the novel, he comes up against his father, whom he hasn’t seen in many years. They’ve always had a raw contentious relationship.

His father confesses that his whole life has been one long attempt to explain an experience he had during the war, on an island in the Pacific, in the middle of a battle.

The father can’t articulate it all at once. He says it changed his view of reality. This, from a man who was so set in his ways that he was sure he knew everything worth knowing.

As I continued to make notes on the novel, I remembered something my logic professor in college told me just before I graduated.

He said, “Know when you don’t know something.”

He meant, when you admit you don’t know something, you’re free; you’re free to find out what it is and learn it.

At that point, I stopped making notes and wondered what it might be like to work as a reporter, an investigator—exploring what I didn’t know.

How deep could an investigation go?

I spent the next 25 years finding out.

In the late 1980s, I met Jack True, a hypnotherapist, in Los Angeles. We began a long series of conversations, which evolved into more than a hundred formal interviews.

With his patients, Jack was on the track of something tremendous, something he called “the lock and key.”

The first time I asked him what it was, he said, “It would be the deepest kind of conditioning, programming. It’s the place where the mind and the world meet…the mind fits like a key into the world.”

And then what?

“Then,” he said, “the mind settles on accepting a certain overall range of information and space that is limited, and that range becomes a person’s reality.”

I then discovered that Jack was working with certain patients to “break the lock and key.” That was his mission.

I eventually found out how deep that process was.

I began making notes for what would become, fifteen years later, my first collection, The Matrix Revealed.

Jack and I worked on those notes together. The collaboration took us into many areas: the early creative exercises of Tibetan schools, fifteen hundred years ago; the CIA MKULTRA program; what Jack called the “time, rhythm, and pace of deep propaganda”; the strategies of political and spiritual collectivism, moving forward from ancient Egypt; and of course, the basis of hypnotic inductions and suggestions.

Through a series of synchronistic events, I met a retired propaganda operative of the first order, Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym), who had worked for several elite groups over a long career.

Ellis and I did many interviews. He explained to me, at a level I had never conceived, the nuts and bolts of massive and long-term propaganda psyops; the art of altering perception.

Through these relationships, I came to understand that, as one travels further and further into the rabbit hole, a sense of incurable optimism grows.

It stems from seeing, at a profound level, how reality is being created—and by transference, how it can be created now…not only differently, but along astonishingly different paths.

That unshakable conviction, and a corresponding long-term view of the future, informs everything I do.

Jack died in the 1990s. Ellis relocated, and hasn’t been in touch in several years. I’ll never forget what they imparted to me, and the mutual collaboration that allowed us to advance our research beyond what we thought was possible.


The Matrix Revealed


Here is the breakdown of materials in my collection, The Matrix Revealed:

* 250 megabytes of information.

* Over 1100 pages of text.

* Ten and a half hours of audio.

* My complete 18-lesson course, LOGIC AND ANALYSIS, which includes the teacher’s manual and audio to guide you. This is a new way to teach logic, the subject that has been missing from schools for decades.

* The complete text (331 pages) of AIDS INC., the book that exposed a conspiracy of scientific fraud deep within the medical research establishment. The book has become a sought-after item, since its publication in 1988. It contains material about viruses, medical testing, and the invention of disease that is, now and in the future, vital to our understanding of phony epidemics arising in our midst. I assure you, the revelations in the book will surprise you; they cut much deeper and are more subtle than “virus made in a lab” scenarios.

The heart and soul of this product are the text interviews I conducted with Matrix-insiders, who have first-hand knowledge of how the major illusions of our world are put together:

* ELLIS MEDAVOY, master of PR, propaganda, and deception, who worked for key controllers in the medical and political arenas. 28 interviews, 290 pages.

The Matrix Revealed and covert ops

The Matrix Revealed and covert ops

by Jon Rappoport

October 10, 2014

NoMoreFakeNews.com

The reference here is my collection, The Matrix Reveled, and in particular, that section of interviews with retired propaganda operative Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym).

This is not meant to be a complete analysis of a covert medical op—but it does identify key players and their strategies.

Certainly, the answer to “who benefits” is the pharmaceutical industry, since every so-called epidemic “requires” very large supplies of drugs and vaccines.

But aside from these bosses, another set of key players is exposed if you ask yourself: What kind of control would those players seek to have?

Well, first and foremost, they would want to control information about the initial “outbreak.” They would want to be able to promote the idea that, in the region where the “outbreak” is occurring, the numbers of ill and dying people are suddenly escalating.

These reported “new numbers” may or may not be accurate. It doesn’t matter. It only matters that people believe the new numbers.

The controlling players must have the means to convince one and all that the reason for the new numbers is a single germ.

How do the players guarantee this? Two ways. One, by nakedly asserting a germ has been found as the cause. And second, by backing up that assertion with a diagnostic test that will come up positive for the presence of the germ.

The test, however, will be a fraud. It will show indirect markers for the germ. These markers are not, in fact, valid evidence.

If you read my prior work on antibody tests and the PCR test, you will understand how this fraud is accomplished.

Neither test reveals the actual presence of enough active virus to conclude patients are adversely affected.

—Now, ask yourself, who has the power to control all these aspects of a promoted “epidemic?”

The answer is: public health agencies. And in particular, the two most powerful health agencies on the planet—the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Both agencies are covert-ops specialists. Their single most important client is the pharmaceutical industry.

The CDC and WHO control announcements of when and where “outbreaks” occur. They control the reports of the case numbers and deaths from the “epidemic.” They decide which diagnostic tests are to be run and accepted.

They announce details about transmission and incubation-periods of viruses.

They are the sources of all key information about epidemics. They build the reality. They are, in the medical arena, the Reality Manufacturing Corporation.

Likewise, they run the other, positive side of the medical op structure. For instance, they, in conjunction with their ally, the FDA, claim that medical drugs and vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, effective, and necessary for preserving “good health.”

Despite studies and reasonable estimates which reveal that medicines and vaccines do enormous harm, the CDC controls the information in this arena.

The CDC is plugged directly into the mainstream press. The press takes its cues from the CDC.

So when, for instance, a key scientist at the CDC, William Thompson, emerges from the shadows and confesses, in writing, that he and his co-authors committed gross fraud in a 2004 study, thereby concealing a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism, this explosive revelation immediately becomes a non-story.

The Matrix Revealed


People gravitate to single causes, single explanations, single symbols in every area of life, and they don’t penetrate further.

This is an aspect of the Matrix.

False unities are the meat and potatoes of very high-level propaganda. They are launched in politics, economics, medicine, organized religion, science, psychology, the military, mind control, in all the academic disciplines.

As an analogy, consider a painting in which the three-dimensional perspective has been radically shortened to eliminate the background. But the background is really where all the action is. The foreground is the false Oneness.

Grasping all of this allowed me to go further than I thought possible in putting together The Matrix Revealed. My method of investigation altered radically, and I hit paydirt.

The Matrix is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional operation, seeded with delusions that collaborate with the subconscious tendency to buy those delusions.

Your freedom and full power emerge when the subconscious is made conscious.

The Matrix Revealed, Exit From the Matrix

My investigation of Matrix inevitably leads back to Tibet where, 1500 years ago, exiled teachers from India, who had challenged major premises of the academic culture in their home country, wandered into Tibet and started “schools.”

These schools were very practical in nature. They taught that one’s own experience was paramount, and exercises designed to increase creative power would open doors and reveal secrets about the basis of reality, secrets that had been buried under a welter of ideas that added up to political control.

For a period of time, in Tibet, the control was removed, and as I would put it, infinity was laid out in full view, for those who wanted to see it.

The machinery of the Matrix was set aside, like a foolish joke.

Everything I’ve been doing for the past 20 years is committed to the conviction that we, now, can provide the punchline to the joke. And live at another level.

Since 1974, I’ve worked on developing exercises that bring us back toward enhanced reality, because information is half of the process of understanding Matrix. The other half is daily practice that yields the actual experience of awake consciousness. I’ve included exercises designed for that purpose in my collection, Exit From the Matrix.


Here is the breakdown on what is contained in my mega-collection, The Matrix Reveled:

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.

What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road.

That road travels to more and more creative power, joy, and fulfillment.

Anti-logic: the education plague

by Jon Rappoport

September 19, 2014

(To join our email list, click here.)

In all times and places, logic is never taught to the masses. There is no intention to do so.

Now, in our “egalitarian society,” education carries with it great PR pretension, a fakery that outflanks any other period in history.

Therefore, graduating students wrongly believe they know how to think.

In my collection, The Matrix Revealed, I include a basic logic course that analyzes passages of text for flaws and fallacies in reasoning.

In my latest collection, Power Outside The Matrix, I include a long audio tutorial, Analyzing Information in the Age of Disinformation, which is all about carrying out deep investigations of major official scenarios/stories, and discovering how and where these official structures can be penetrated, taken apart, and unfolded, so all their flaws and deceptions are exposed.

These two trainings are meant to remedy the deep hole people find themselves in, when they go up against entrenched (or even alternative) “knowledge.”

In this article, I want to focus on a particular logical fallacy I call: “this means that.”

It runs rampant throughout society. The fallacy bleeds into the reasoning process, into notions of self-worth, into people’s need to identify themselves with an “acceptable” position.

Take the concept of manmade global warming. For many people, affirming this as a reality means:

“I’m defending the sacred quality of life on Earth, I’m helping the planet, I’m exposing the nasty crimes of big corporations, I’m acknowledging and shining a spotlight on the selfish and petty actions of the masses, I’m in the vanguard of recognizing that this issue represents the greatest threat humankind has ever known, I’m transcending ‘profits over values’, I’m envisioning with others a better world, I’m aligning myself with the best international scientific minds, I’m experiencing the sensation of having a larger mission in life.”

This—manmade global warming—means all that.

Therefore, how do you approach rational discourse on the subject of manmade warming?

You don’t.

There is no logic to be found. There is only “this means that.”

The concept or idea or symbol of manmade warming is so fully packed with sentiment, it resists all attempts at entry.

Here is another example: “America must field a powerful military force all over the world.”

For many people this means: “US wars are good and righteous wars, support our troops, admire the representations of war in sports, praise large American corporations, vote for a ‘tough President’, winning is everything, expand the Pentagon budget, develop a kick-ass attitude, love technology in all forms and degrees, obey and agree with institutional authority, assume that bigger is always better.”

“This means that.”

Therefore, a rational discussion about the wisdom of deploying the US military all over the planet is impossible. The amount of packed sentiment is a suit of body and mind armor.

In the case of manmade warming, examining the science behind the hypothesis becomes completely irrelevant. To even begin to look at it feels like an act of betrayal to the person who has “this means that” firmly in place.

Nothing in the person’s education has ever challenged his reflexive hard-wired “this-that” formulation. A breakthrough has never been made in the area of logic.

Instead, education has, at best, skated across the surface of “this means that” and left it undisturbed.

With some degree of accuracy, one could say that all the other traditional logical fallacies—ad hominem attack, straw man, vague generality, circular reasoning, appeal to authority, etc.—spring from “this means that.”


The Matrix Revealed

power outside the matrix

(To read about Jon’s collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)


When I attended college in the 1950s, it was my good fortune to have a logic professor who could analyze and separate a thousand angels dancing on the head of a pin—and at the same time, maintain his great and natural charm and sense of humor.

Our conversations outside of class were moments of excitement. They were also rugged mind workouts.

His parting shot to me, as I was about to graduate: “Know what you don’t know.”

Some 20 years later, when I began a career as a reporter, that piece of advice came back to me.

I was prepared to do investigations, because I could make assessments of what I didn’t know and therefore needed to find out.

I could evaluate sources, who would often try to deploy logical flaws to derail me.

One of the great delights of reporting is discovering that the story you’re working on isn’t the story. The story turns out to be something else entirely.

That was the case in 1987, when I got down to writing my first book, AIDS Inc (note: AIDS Inc is included as bonus in both The Matrix Revealed and Power Outside The Matrix collections). People were coming at me from every direction, feeding me their half-baked theories about what AIDS “really was.”

They seemed to believe that, because they were departing from the conventional wisdom on the subject, they must be right.

Encountering that odd notion of self-entitlement stood me in good stead, from that time forward.

When I eventually arrived at the bottom of the AIDS story, I was shocked to see it wasn’t at all what I predicted it would be.

It’s astounding how many logical steps people are willing to skip over, when they have a “this means that” cooking in their heads.

Like a foreign traveler visiting a bizarre museum, I’ve encountered many varieties of sophistry over the past 30 years.

Logic isn’t the be-all and end-all. But it is, in the largest sense, an ever-expanding method you can use to probe deeper and deeper into an argument, a line of reasoning, and engage with the basic assumptions that underlie a position a person is occupying.

It’s as if you’re learning a story backwards, moving toward the beginning, where all the secrets are.

And chances are good that you will eventually encounter some form of the abiding “this means that,” hiding like a horned toad under a bush.

He’s there, he’s quiet, he’s waiting, and when you turn a branch away from a shadow, he stares at you and you know you’ve arrived at the nexus:

the unyielding stubborn source of confusion and illogic.

And sometimes, on good days, you can get the horned toad to tell his story. His real story. All the way through. And you can see him regain his lost sanity.

That’s an experience not to be missed. You’ll remember it for your whole life.
